The American Transplant Association, Inc. (ATA) is dedicated
to providing patient-oriented education and services to those
affected by and interested in organ transplantation.
The American Transplant Association was founded in 1995 by
transplant patients and family members to provide support
to the Chicago area transplant community. Over time, the group
began to learn that there were many areas important to transplant
patients that were not being addressed, either locally or
nationally. Building on their experiences in Chicago, in 1998,
ATA was established as a national, non-profit organization
to share its knowledge and experience with transplant patients
nationwide. ATA currently has nearly 1,000 members, with chapters
in the Chicago and Denver areas, and members in 27 states.
ATA’s mission focuses on bringing a patient’s perspective
to the education, services and support that transplant patients
and their families need. ATA's members have all types of transplants:
